SAS and anyone else
I read somewhere (can't remember where) that it is possible to land the UH-1, cut the throttles, then lift the collective and there is enough inertia in the blades to lift the heli into the hover, yaw through 180 and land it again as smoothly as normal.
Question 1 - Do you know if this is this true?
Question 2 - Do you (or anyone else) think this make EOLs in a "big machine" less daunting and safer than in, say an R22, with a low inertia blade?
PS My biggest worry regarding real autos in the R22 is not the bit at the bottom but getting the lever down in the 1. something seconds that you need to!!!!
